Networking Event Anti-corruption Reforms in Ukraine and Corruption in International Arbitration

The event was a great success, with Antonina Volkotrub from the Anti-Corruption Action Centre in Ukraine providing a fresh view on the progress of the reforms and the ways to challenge the remaining obstacles. We are very grateful to Antonina for joining us on a short notice and making the evening so lively. It was a rare chance to get a view from someone on the forefront of fighting corruption.

Greg Fullelove from Osborne Clarke masterfully presented on how corruption is dealt with by the arbitrators, which led to a lively discussion brilliantly moderated by Paul Mitchel QC of 4 New Chamber We thank our hosts Smith&Williamson for their warm welcome and cosy atmosphere. As you can see from the photos, the discussion continued well after the formal part was over.
